ResidenceSeattle, WA, USA Place of BirthEdmonds, WA, USA Personal StatementWhen creating my artwork I love that moment when I find something forming and I know that whatever I am working on has a direction, purpose, and a point. My work begins by letting unpredictable splashes and strokes of paint get pulled by gravitational flow, down the canvas. After a series of loose gestures and blocking techniques, I look for highlighted ideas and cues to start forming my vision of the painting. I begin fleshing out the forms and soon a story unfolds, whether it’s humorous, sad, simple or complex. My loose beginnings turn into finely tuned forms that have a street style feel with a dash of cubism. My more recent artwork deals with the competition of thoughts, ideas, phases, and feeling in ones mind. Modern day life lends itself well to racing thoughts and busy lives. I feel my artwork pulls from an urban level to capture sides of a hectic person's life with a street style feel. I believe being able to create artwork gives me the freedom and ability to say the things I need and want to, with the medium I choose.
